Russia has put Christo Grozev, the investigative journalist in the “Navalny” documentary on its “wanted list.”
Grozev is “wanted under an article of the Criminal Code,” according to the Russian Interior Ministry’s website via CNN.
Grozev took to Twitter and said, “I have no idea on what grounds the Kremlin has put me on its ‘wanted list’, thus, I cannot provide any comments at this time. In a way it doesn’t matter – for years they’ve made it clear they are scared of our work and would stop at nothing to make it go away.”
Grozev is no stranger when it comes to Russia and its international crimes. He’s been following them more intensely since the poisoning of Alexey Navalny in 2020. “Navalny” by Daniel Roher focuses on the murder of Navalny, where Grozev is featured. He recently talked to Deadline Contenders Documentary about a scene where Navalny impersonated a Russian official.
“My God, this guy’s giving us much more data than we even had before the beginning of the phone call to somewhere midway through the call, I was starting to feel pity for him and sorry,” Grozev said. “I’m thinking what have we done to this killer or one of the killers? And then towards the end, I was already kind of jaded and thinking, ‘OK, I peaked. I’m never gonna see anything as good as this in my life. So what else is there to do for the rest of my life?’”
“Navalny” has made the Oscars shortlist for a documentary feature.
